Due to the large and efficient usage of Weinreb amides or N-methoxy-N-methyl amides as are remarkable intermediate in the organic synthesis field, the recent review paper provides a considerable development literature survey on the Weinreb amides synthesis. The direct transformation of carboxylic acids,acid chlorides, and esters to aldehydes or ketones employing organometallic reagents do not lead in high yields, since the high reactivity of ketone intermediates toward the organometallic reagents. While, the conversion to the appropriate Weinreb Amidesfollowed by treatment with the organometallic regent, result the stable expected ketones as the stable initial adduct toward further reactions. Furthermore, Weinreb amides undergo nucleophilic addition and produce a unique and steady five-membered cyclic intermediate which protects the over-addition, leading to a serious transformation.

N-methoxy-N-methyl amides or Weinreb amides are worthy embranchment of amide group and their rich functional groups in organic synthesis become a strong else unfeasible conversion. Weinreb amides are produced as an intermediate product of the reaction of carboxylic acids, acid chloride or esters with organometallic reagents, which was first uncovered in 1981. The direct conversion of carboxylic acids or acid chlorides or esters to ketones or aldehydes using organometallic reagents do not lead in high yields, because the intermediate ketones are still highly reactive toward the organometallic reagent. However, after derivatization to the corresponding Weinreb Amide, reaction with organometallics does give the desired ketones, as the initial adduct is stabilized and doesn't undergo further reactions. Nucleophilic addition to the Weinreb amides results in a unique and stable five-membered cyclic tetrahedral intermediate which protects the over-addition, leading to a selective conversion.

The chemical and physical properties of three different crude oils and two natural gas wells in Kurdistan-Iraq have been studied according to American Standard Test Method (ASTM) methods. Auto-distillations have been used to determine the changes in each cut, and gas–liquid chromatography has been used to find the approximate chemical constituents. A distribution diagram of paraffin, naphthenic, and aromatic hydrocarbons has been created. The gasoline cuts for each crude oil have been examined to find suitable octane additives (oxygenated or metal organic). The octane number increases as a function of the amount of additives, which has been plotted. A correlation between the trace metals and the types of hydrocarbons has been carried out for each crude oil. The improvement of these crude oils is achieved catalytically by reactions at high temperatures using different local clays, which gave us increases in lighter molecules by 7% (max). Chemical reactions are suggested for this improvement. X-ray analysis is also performed for each clay. Research is carried out on one gas–liquid well (Khor Mor) and another pure natural gas well. Gas chromatography analysis for Khor Mor shows 51% C1– C5 and 49% C6–C11, while other natural gas wells contain 98% methane. The natural gas of the Kirkuk wells contained approximately 10–12% hydrogen sulfide, which we separated using ethanolamines, and converted to hydrogen fuel and sulfur at two pilot plants using a new catalyst instead of the previous Clause process, producing about 143 tons of hydrogen per day.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of altering surface topography on the biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of four dental ceramics, Mirage (MI), Flexoceram (FL), Optec-HSP (OP) and IPS Empress (EM).Twelve groups of ten discs 123mm were prepared and fired according to the manufacturers' instructions. Ten specimens of each material were subjected to three surface treatments, polished, grit blasted and etched with 10% hydrofluoric acid (HF) for 2 minutes. Some specimens were gold coated for examination under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). BFS was determined using Lloyd M5K universal testing machine at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min. A one-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the differences between groups.The results obtained showed that the only significant difference in the BFS was the 10% HF for OP and FL (One-way Anova, P<0.05). The decrease in BFS is most likely due to an increased surface flaw size, such that surface initiated crack growth dominates over the bulk internal flaw size of the ceramics.The BFS of dental porcelain used in this study may be governed either by the internal or surface flaws depending on the manner of surface preparation. Specimens etched with 10% HF became weaker for OP and FL ceramics.

The aim of this study is to fabricate high strength calcium phosphate/ yttrium partially stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ) composites using a simple powder pressing technique. Various compositions of hydroxyapatitesymbol 210 \f "Symbol" and zirconia power symbol 211 \f "Symbol", ranging from 10 to 90 wt% Y-PSZ, were prepared using a wet mixing process. Ten compacts (13.5mmsymbol 180 \f "Symbol"3mm) were made for each composition, pressed and fired in air at sintering temperatures from 1100 to 1450oC for up to 12 hours. The bulk density, true porosity, linear shrinkage and biaxial flexural strength (BFS) were measured using standard methods. Microstructural changes were examined using XRD, DTA, and SEM. The true porosity reduced and linear shrinkage increased with increasing sintering temperature and amounts of zirconia, whereas the firing time had little effect. The highest mean value achieved for the BFS was 269symbol 177 \f "Symbol"20 Mpa for a composition of 70% Y-PSZ, fired at 1450oC for 6 hours, however with the hydroxyapatite (Hap) decomposed to symbol 97 \f "Symbol"-TCP. XRD and DTA data show an interaction between the zirconia and the Hap at the temperature lower than changes normally encountered for pure Hap. We conclude that sintering temperature and composition affect the densification behavior of calcium phosphate/Y-PSZ composites. The BFS increases with a reduction of porosity and increases with both sintering temperature and additions of zirconia. It was noted that there is considerable scope for improvement in the BFS values by reducing the porosity of these composites. Further work is needed to elucidate the microstructural changes.

It involves cycling in H2 gas pressures above 1.2 atm at the temperature higher than 435oC depending on the CNT content. Conditioned samples, will repeatedly (above 50 cycles) cycles 2.5 H (fu)-1 between room temperature and 500oC with 0.9 and 1.2 H (fu)-1 being desorbed and absorbed with fast kinetic within a very small temperature range. This behavior is believed to arise from the polymorphic change between an α-form of the D88 structure and a supercell β-form. An attempt to quantify the enhanced stability, compared to Y5Si3, is made by measuring reaction enthalpies using Can't Hoff isopleths.

Evaluation of Tawke crude oil TW4 and TW8 through distillation cuts have been done by analysis chemical constituent (Gas chromatography) and measuring the (density, API, viscosity, pour point, flash point, water content, sulfur content, ash content etc., according to both ASTM and IP methods). Improvement of this crude oil TW4 and TW8 have been done using three types of local clay. X-Ray analysis of these clays have been done and the chemical analysis of crude oil performed and compared before and after refluxing this crude oil using gas – chromatography. A series of experiments have been done at a different percentage of clay, at the different time of reflux and different temperatures and the changes in the chemical constituent of this crude oil monitored by gas – chromatography analysis. Also, Octane number of the distilled between (34 -200) °C have been measured.

Thermal stability and sintering behavior of two hydroxyapatite (HAP) powder were designated. AHAP and BHAP have been investigated at the fired sintering temperature range from 1100 to 1450 of for 3 hrs using XRD and IR spectroscopy. The fired compacts have been characterized by measuring their bulk density, firing shrinkage and biaxial flexural strength (BFS). BHAP has been found to transform to oxyhydroxyapatite (OHAP) at T≥1200oC, and at T≥1300oC started to decompose to β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). AHAP has been found to be marginally less stable than BHAP with OHAP forming at T≥1150oC and βTCP forming at T≥1200oC. In both materials, β-TCP transformed to α-TCP at T ≥1350oC. Maximum densification (∼95% of theoretical density) occurred at a lower firing temperature for AHAP (1150oC) than for BHAP (1250oC), with AHAP also showing a slightly higher firing shrinkage (23% compared with 20% for BHAP). The BFS of both materials has been found to increase with increasing sintering temperature up to 1300oC, reaching a maximum value of ∼90-100 MPa. At T≥1300oC, this is followed by the rapid reduction in BFS due to cracks forming as a result of a volume increase associated with the transformation of β-TCP into α-TCP. It has been concluded that BHAP is marginally more thermally stable than AHAP, while the latter densifies at a lower firing temperature, this is not a disadvantage and comparable properties can be achieved for both powders, although different firing conditions need to be used.
